Here is a perfectly easy and inexpensive solution to terrorism in the skies and airline safey--NO CLOTHES!

Everybody on a commercial airliner MUST fly naked. In addition, all prostheses must be left in a locker at he departing airport and all travelers must take one of those pre-colonoscopy cocktails to evacuate any possible ballistic balloons.

Easy-peasy.

Can I be the airline safety czar now?

BTW, I see where our president is referring to the Islamic terrorist airline bomber as an "extremist."

Funny, isn't that the very same thing he calls pro-life, second amendment advocate, tax cut favoring conservatives?

Today's Gospel reading and sermon from Matthew 11 speaks to every Christian who has ever gotten disgusted with the people at church. What Christian, what pastor, hasn't had some variation of the following thought or conversation?

"I'm not going to church anymore. A church should have better people. The people there aren't very nice to me. They don't appreciate me, all they want is my money. They're all a bunch of lazy hypocrites."

Yeah, so!? What else is new? Rejoice! and be forbearing because the Lord IS at hand being forbearing of you, not holding your sin against you like you hold it against others.

Wisdom for Church & State

"One Word of God is all and all are one, one doctrine is all doctrines and all are one, so that when one is lost all are eventually lost, because they all belong together and are held together by a common bond." – Dr. Martin Luther

"Nevertheless we consider it our duty to criticize, refute, oppose, contend against, and reprove whatever error becomes manifest in the teaching of those who wish to be our brethren, whether this error pertains to a fundamental or a non-fundamental teaching of the Word of God……" -– C. F. W. Walther

"Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that National morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle." –- George Washington

"Politics and morality are inseparable. And as morality’’s foundation is religion, religion and politics are necessarily related. We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect, and our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they’’re sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive." —— Ronald Reagan

"Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born." -- Ronald Reagan
